New Delhi: Suresh Kalmadi has been granted bail by the Delhi High Court. He was arrested in April last year for alleged corruption - as chairman of the Organizing Committee for the Commonwealth Games, Mr Kalmadi allegedly sanctioned an inflated contract for timing equipment and scoreboards.
The Commonwealth Games were seeped in controversy. They were internationally reported for poor organization; within the country, the event made headlines for apparently ubiquitous graft. Several of Mr Kalmadi's key aides were arrested after the Games were held in September 2010.
Mr Kalmadi, a Congress MP, has been in Tihar Jail for 10 months. He has been asked to pay a surety of five lakhs.
